《《》》Storyline
Gandalf and the others threw burning pine cones to repel the snarling Wargs.The Dwarves were all stranded on one final tree trunk that was suspended over the cliff.To save the others, Thorin jumped down and charged at Azog, but was felled to the ground and badly wounded with Azog's mace.In the van, Paul speculates: "I got some good pieces, maybe 25 percent." When Stanley asks Harry about their operation, he flatly responds that he doesn't show curiosity, or care about and question what he is doing:Stanley: Who's interested in these two, anyway?Harry: I don't know for sure.Chekov and Terrell were beamed down to the inhospitable surface of Ceti Alpha VI (they didn't know they had actually landed on Ceti Alpha V) to check for signs of life, where they were confronted by genetically-engineered, bare-chested superhuman Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) of the late 20th century [Khan once was a powerful ruler over SE Asia on Earth that threatened theEnterprise, but was defeated and escaped in a cryogenic sleeper ship - it was found adrift in space by Kirk]; they learned that Captain Kirk had exiled Khan to the planet 15 years earlier; the vengeful Khan, sounding like Shakespeare's King Lear, led a group of survivors - the crew of theSS Botany Bay, marooned on Ceti Alpha V on the "barren sand heap" (the wasteland was caused by an explosion on Ceti Alpha VI that shifted the planet's orbit and its ecosystem - "everything was laid waste"); Khan blamed Kirk for the death of his beloved wife due to a parasitic, insanity-causing Ceti eel, which he also implanted into the ears of Chekov and Terrell to control their minds.Shortly later in Gotham, Bruce/Batman, now wearing an Armored BatSuit, was fully armed with Kryptonite weapons and prepared to combat Superman.
